Microsoft's Emergence Week

On November 7, Gears of War will finally hit stores, and Microsoft plans to celebrate its release in style with Emergence Week. This celebration will kick off on the same day GoW is released. The first event will be held at the Universal Citywalk GameStop in Los Angeles. Cliff Bleszinski, the game's lead designer, will be present to sign copies of his game. Five days later, on November 12, Xbox Live will begin 24 hours of special events. There will be a 24-Hour Leader Board Tournament with a special Gears of War guitar going to the winner. There will also be hourly drawings to win prizes such as a Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound system from Samsung. Other events include a chance to play on Live with Megadeth, Cliff Bleszinski and other members of the Epic team. On November 13 at 8:30 p.m., MTV will air a special titled "Gears of War: The Race to Launch."
